[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These whine-fests are never ending. Have you never left your children at home for a weekend with your husband in charge? If not, why not? When you arrive home and all the kids are accounted for and no one had to go to the ER, it’s all good. His way might not be YOUR way, but isn’t that okay? To the super planners who posted…You need a “plan” to go out to dinner? [b]What’s the problem with, “Kids, grab your coats, we are going out for dinner tonight.”[/b][/quote]

Sure. As long as it’s fine and in-budget if the wife does that every single time she’s left on her own with the kids.

If I did that, we would have dinner out 4-5 times a week, at $50-60 a dinner. $13k/yr in bandaids for my incompetence. That’s fine with you, okay.

This. If doing a pathetic bare-minimum job of parenting is good enough for you, I'm sorry for your kids. No concern for their homework, their activities, preparing for the week ahead, cleaning up after themselves so the mom doesn't come home to a wrecked house, teaching them life skills and chores etc., no nothing. Just the sad pathetic bare minimum and you're super-dad. Okay. And you wonder why you're treated like a junior partner. Can you imagine having this attitude at work? Come on.[/quote]
